Of course they've changed throughout history, but not always at the breakneck pace we're seeing today. And tbh people don't want to be retrained, people want stable jobs. We're looking at a future where some may need to be "reskilled" more than once and that's not politically feasible. >There is no other way. Yes, there is, a curtailing of globalization.

A return to a time of nationalism and tarriffs is certainly possible. And unless those of us who are made relatively better-off by trade figure out a way to make the worse-off benefit too, there will be a political backlash which threatens the whole picture (see Brexit, Trump & the growth in socialist movements).
